Forecasts

Pop Rockstar (2/1), On A Promise (4/1), Durbanville (7/1), Skipthescales (9/1), Classico Dais (10/1), Sandhurst Lad (12/1), Arctic Vodka (16/1), Oscar's Prospect (16/1), Tickanrun (16/1), Joseph Mercer (20/1), Classical Milano (20/1), Wind Of Hope (25/1), Great Tempo (25/1), Serpico (33/1), Haul Us In (33/1), Silver Dragon (33/1), Art Of Supremacy (33/1)

A really good betting heat in prospect here a reasonably good case could be made for about half the field. Sandhurst Lad should benefit from the step up in trip and should remain competitive after his Plumpton success, while Pop Rockstar was game at Haydock on Wednesday and should go close under his penalty provided that effort did not take too much out of him. Skipthescales enters calculations after last month's win here, Great Tempo is very interesting, while Durbanville is another with claims after a 5lb rise. Classico Dais could go well again and perhaps still not manage to break his duck, while On A Promise is in cracking form and the manner of his Hexham wins suggests that even a 14lb rise might not prevent the hat-trick. However, OSCAR'S PROSPECT is the suggestion given a slight drop in the handicap, first-time visor and a more suitable trip today. With Jedd O'Keeffe among the winners, she gets the vote
